This is hands down our favorite southern fare restaurant in the city! It's another north meets south story as the owners are from New Jersey and New Orleans. Everyone from Missy Elliot to Bill Clinton has graced their doors, but they've maintained a cozy, personal yet elegant feel throughout the years of fanfare.
From plant shops to craft cocktails, there is something for everyone at Optimist Hall. There's even an organic raw juice and clean food café. This is the ultimate space for grabbing a drink, shopping local or simply hanging out.
In the historic Camp North End, The Van Gogh artwork is taken to another level; you are fully immersed as the floors and walls around you completely come to life! Note: The ticketed booking is limited; it is advisable you book well in advance.
For those who love adventure, sports and the great outdoors, The U.S. White Water Center is truly a must visit. With whitewater rafting, canoeing, kayaking, rappelling, rock climbing & ziplining, it's truly one of the best gems of the Queen City.
